(La Porte County, IN) - Public transportation buses are not running this afternoon in La Porte and Michigan City because of hazardous conditions from the snowstorm.

Service stopped at noon in La Porte while buses were called off the streets this morning in Michigan City.

Beth West, Director of Transporte, said the decision was made to keep riders and drivers who would have to drive to their shifts in La Porte from rural areas out of potential danger.

“I know the street department is trying their very best to stay on top of it but the snow is still coming down pretty hard,” West said.

No decision has been made yet to resume bus service tomorrow in La Porte or Michigan City.
